Question 1:
Squarespace 7.1 can…
1. Allow new ways to organize products in an e-commerce store.
2. Offer a more streamlined way to add product info to online stores.
3. Do my taxes for me.
The lie: Sorry to say, Squarespace 7.1 can’t sit down and do your taxes for you. But the Tax Jar integration can automatically manage sales tax compliance across more than 11,000 jurisdictions — including calculations, filing and reporting — buying you time and helping grow your business in a financially healthy way.
Question 2:
Squarespace 7.1…
1. Gives every template the same functions and features.
2. Can teach me a new language.
3. Makes it easier to adjust design features with just one click.
The lie: Ok, it can’t teach you a new language. But Weglot language integration instantly translates your web content into Spanish, French, German or Chinese. The technology uses a mix of automated and human translation for accuracy and multilingual SEO best practices, ensuring you’re popping up in searches in any language.
Question 3:
Squarespace 7.1…
1. Can get you a table at the hottest restaurant in town.
2. Has a fourth heading setting for improved design and SEO.
3. Offers longer scrolling pages with full banner images throughout.
The lie: Unfortunately, Squarespace 7.1 can’t get you a table at the hottest restaurant. But with Tock integration, clients can buy tickets for reservations and culinary experiences directly through your website, helping to make your restaurant the hottest ticket in town.
Question 4:
Squarespace 7.1…
1. Adds improved video and animation features.
2. Allows for more product details on portfolio pages.
3. Will make you as famous as Zendaya.
The lie: You probably won’t become the next star of “Spiderman” or “Dune,” or completely slay at the Oscars in Valentino. But Zendaya designed her personal website using Squarespace 7.1, which is not only a ringing endorsement, but also gives you a conversation starter if you ever run into the starlet.
Question 5:
Squarespace 7.1…
1. Is undergoing constant improvement.
2. Can actually build you a new website from scratch.
3. Allows for easier and faster updates, no code required.
The lie: No, Squarespace 7.1 can’t physically build your website for you. But we can! Our packages have been designed for a wide range of web design needs. Plus, our talented team can also include all of these integrations — and more! — to take your business to the next level while giving you a little work-life balance back.
